#!/usr/bin/perl -w =head1 NAME dh_strip - strip executables, shared libraries, and some static libraries =cut use strict; use File::Find; use Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Lib; =head1 SYNOPSIS B [S>] [B<-X>I] [B<--dbg-package=>I] [B<--keep-debug>] =head1 DESCRIPTION B is a debhelper program that is responsible for stripping executables, shared libraries, and static libraries that are not used for debugging. This program examines your package build directories and works out what to strip on its own. It uses L and file permissions and filenames to figure out what files are shared libraries (F<*.so>), executable binaries, and static (F) and debugging libraries (F, F), and strips each as much as is possible. (Which is not at all for debugging libraries.) In general it seems to make very good guesses, and will do the right thing in almost all cases. Since it is very hard to automatically guess if a file is a module, and hard to determine how to strip a module, B does not currently deal with stripping binary modules such as F<.o> files. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-X>I, B<--exclude=>I Exclude files that contain I anywhere in their filename from being stripped. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude. =item B<--dbg-package=>I Causes B to save debug symbols stripped from the packages it acts on as independent files in the package build directory of the specified debugging package. For example, if your packages are libfoo and foo and you want to include a I package with debugging symbols, use BI. Note that this option behaves significantly different in debhelper compatibility levels 4 and below. Instead of specifying the name of a debug package to put symbols in, it specifies a package (or packages) which should have separated debug symbols, and the separated symbols are placed in packages with B<-dbg> added to their name. =item B<-k>, B<--keep-debug> Debug symbols will be retained, but split into an independent file in F in the package build directory. B<--dbg-package> is easier to use than this option, but this option is more flexible. =back =head1 NOTES If the B environment variable contains B, nothing will be stripped, in accordance with Debian policy (section 10.1 "Binaries"). =head1 CONFORMS TO Debian policy, version 3.0.1 =cut init(options => { "keep-debug" => \$dh{K_FLAG}, }); # This variable can be used to turn off stripping (see Policy). if (get_buildoption('nostrip')) { exit; } my $objcopy = cross_command("objcopy"); my $strip = cross_command("strip"); # I could just use `file $_[0]`, but this is safer sub get_file_type { my $file=shift; open (FILE, '-|') # handle all filenames safely || exec('file', $file) || die "can't exec file: $!"; my $type=; close FILE; return $type; } # Check if a file is an elf binary, shared library, or static library, # for use by File::Find.
